Commissioners: New jail needed

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press A new jail is needed in Brown County and taxes will have to be raised to build it.

“I think it’s inevitable,” said Brown County Commissioner Tony Applegate.

“The taxpayers are going to have a burden on them at some point in the future because we are going to have to address the jail issue, and it’s probably going to be in the form of a public safety levy to build it and to operate it. The overcrowding is not going away. Serious discussion is going to have to take place here.”

The issue came to a head last week when the jail had over five times the number of female inmates it was originally designed for.

Chief Deputy Carl Smith of the Brown County Sheriff’s Office began researching area jails to see if some of the women could be moved.

The only taker was Butler County, which offered to take female prisoners at a cost of seventy dollars per day, which is double the rate it costs to keep a prisoner in Georgetown.

An overflow of ten women would cost the county $4900 per week, over $20,000 per month.

Scioto, Warren, Clinton, Highland and Clermont counties all told Smith that they had no extra room.

In a memo to the Brown County Commissioners, Smith wrote “I believe we can safely hold and care for twenty female inmates in the space we have. We understand that we all have a financial crisis at hand. But if we do nothing, this could be extremely expensive if an officer or inmate is injured or worse.”

Smith also pointed out that the jail does not provide the minimum square footage per inmate that is called for by

Ohio jail standards.

Regarding this issue, Brown County Commissioner Barry Woodruff said “We can ignore it and at some point the federal people are going to get involved and say you can no longer continue to do that, or we can become a little bit proactive.”

The commissioners approved an agreement with Butler County to send overflow female inmates at $70 per day for the immediate future.

“I have a feeling it’s going to be a temporary solution to a long term problem,” Woodruff said.

“We are getting backed into a corner with this situation and we have to do something. It’s not going to go away.”

Woodruff also pointed out another factor that has contributed to the overcrowding at the jail.

“When the state decided they were going to control

their prison population by making us keep all those felony 4’s and 5’s in our county jail, that was a big factor in our overcrowding. And they sent no money to help us when they did it.”

He also said that the current jail is experiencing problems with its infrastructure.

“Fifty or sixty cents of every dollar we spend on natural gas in the jail goes up the chimney and doesn’t heat anything. That’s how old and inefficient the heating system is,” Woodruff said.

Smith said the BCSO has done all it can to make room for women in the jail, but has reached the breaking point.

“We have a jail that was build in 1980. Our female section was designed to hold six women. Last week, our count of females was 32,” Smith said.

“When this jail was built, it was designed to hold 32 men and six women. Our avCONTINUED ON PAGE 8

Gusweiler rules against coroner

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Brown County Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler has ruled against Brown County Coroner Dr. Judith Varnau in two motions stemming from his ruling that she cannot conduct any further investigation into the death of Zachary Goldson.

Goldson died in the Brown County Jail in October of 2013. Varnau ruled his death a homicide in Decem-

ber of that year, but a Brown County Grand Jury ruled it a suicide in December of 2014.

Gusweiler ruled in January of this year that Varnau could not conduct an inquest into Goldson’s death and upheld that ruling in April after a hearing on the matter in March.

A total of eight Brown County Sheriff’s Office employees involved with the arrest and incarceration of Goldson filed the motion in January that further investi-

gation by Varnau be halted.

They cite the Grand Jury determination of suicide and the fact that a second investigation by Varnau is unnecessary because she has already made her ruling.

Following the April ruling, Varnau attorney Thomas Eagle filed a motion to reconsider the ruling.

Gusweiler’s answer read in part; “The Court is of the opinion that the decision of April CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

Live birds banned from county fair

CMYK

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The Ohio Department of Agriculture is banning all live bird exhibitions this year to help prevent a possible outbreak of Avian Flu in the state.

The ban includes county and independent fairs, the Ohio State Fair, and all other gatherings of birds for show or for sale, including auctions and swap meets.

The Brown County Fair will open on September 28 this year, and already had 168 exhibitors scheduled to show birds of some kind.

At press time, the Senior Fair Board had scheduled a meeting with the county extension office and a special meeting of its own on June 6 to discuss alternatives for the scheduled exhibitors.

Juanita Barricklow, Senior Fair Board Secretary said that the traditional late September kickoff for the fair was helping in figuring out a plan.

“We’re fortunate. We have an opportunity to think about this. There are other fairs that start as soon as next week. The option for their kids, which have already raised those chickens, is to display a picture of the bird and take it to the sale ring,” Barricklow said.

“We are going to have an option for our kids in some

way. We are going to try to have some way that the kids can bring a project to the fair.

We’re going to do whatever we can that will be the best for the junior fair exhibitors.”

In a press release, the ODA referred to the ban as “an aggressive move designed to help protect Ohio’s $2.3 billion poultry industry from the avian flu that has so negatively impacted other poultry-producing states.”

The ODA said that so far, Ohio is virus-free and that the move is intended to continue that status.

“This was a difficult decision because it means young people can’t show their birds at fairs, but it’s in the best interest of an industry that literally thousands of Ohio families and businesses depend on and which provides billions of dollars to our state’s economy. The right CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

Georgetown council member resigns

BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press Georgetown Village Council members were sad to hear on May 28 that Councilwoman Raelena Morrison would be leaving council. Morrison submitted her resignation to council and officially stepped down as council member on May 31. Council will begin immediately to find a replacement. Hopeful candidates should contact the mayor.

In other business, Georgetown Fire Chief Joey Rockey introduced his department’s newest paramedic, Chris Bales.

“Although county budgets have been shrinking, the support the community has given our newly established Brown County Drug and Major Crimes Task Force is growing, and it couldn’t have come at a better time” said Brown County Commissioner Barry Woodruff.

Recently, the Task Force received donations of $4,000.00 from Choice Cigars & Tobacco, $1,000.00 from Denny and Rebecca Wallace of Wallace Seed & Services on St. Rt. 774, and $100.00 from John Wood Insurance in Georgetown.

Dwight D. Wilson, owner of

Choice Cigars & Tobacco stores located in Brown and Clermont Counties, understands that this heroin epidemic will not go away on its own. “I have seen not only what it does to lives of the addicts, but the family,

extended families and friends as well,” says Wilson. “I appreciate the dedication by Commander Josh Black and the Task Force and what they are up against to eliminate this problem in our communities. I encour-

age anyone else that can offer support to do the same.”

“I would like to express our thanks to all who have or are thinking of donating to the Task Force. This is a much needed group to help

fight the War on Drugs” says Chief Deputy Carl Smith, Brown County Sheriff’s Office. Want to put the hurt on a drug dealer? Tips: call (937) 378-2573 or email taskforce@browncountyohio.gov.

The Clermont County Opiate Task Force presented an action plan to fight heroin to the community on May 26.

The event was held in the Student Activities Center on the campus of UC Clermont in Batavia, and attracted over 100 community leaders and interested citizens.

Some very sobering statistics were presented to those in attendance.

Clermont County Coroner Dr. Brian Treon reported that since 2003, opiate and heroin deaths in the county have increased 500%, from seven in 2003 to 36 in 2014. He added that accidental deaths attributed to the increased use of heroin went from 85 in 2013 to 105 in 2014.

A document produced by the task force titled “Breaking the Cycle: Clermont County’s Response to the Opioid Epidemic” was also available to the public at the meeting.

The plan has four elements; increasing the availability of treatment and recovery housing, preventing use, reducing harm to the public and reducing the sup-

ply of opiates.

Among the statistics in the Executive Summary of the document included the fact that Clermont County averages at least one opiate overdose per week, and that heroin overdose deaths more than doubled in the county between 2009 and 2013.

Clermont County currently ranks eighth in the state in per capita death rates from drug overdoses, according to the Ohio Department of Health.

The common theme among those present at the summit was that heroin addiction affects nearly every person in the county in some way, either directly or through crime associated with the addiction process.

Karen Scherra, Executive Director of the Clermont County Mental Health and Recovery Board, said a lack of resources and funding is a major issue in getting on top of the problem.

She said that in a perfect world with plenty of funding, she would address the problem from the treatment side first.

“Every single person with a heroin addiction would get medication assisted treatment with either Suboxone

O

or Vivitrol. That treatment has become the standard of care and that’s really how you can beat it. The other would be to have prevention programs in every school and college.”

The reality that Scherra faces is a very tight budget.

“We have 900 people in the agency we fund, Clermont Recovery Center who have a heroin addiction.

Currently, only 250 of them are getting medication assisted treatment. The others are getting what we have.

Will it be enough? I don’t know.”

Scherra said that provisions also have to be made for former addicts once treatment is over for them.

“We also don’t have sober living or recovery houses, we don’t have recovery coaching. There are a lot of things we need that we just don’t have the funding for.”

She added that the heroin stereotype of men hiding in alleys with needles just isn’t true anymore.

“There is no class distinction with heroin. It affects every ethnicity, every income level. We’ve had a man as old as 65 overdose from heroin because he got addicted to pain pills and then couldn’t get them anymore and switched to heroin.

That’s the scariest thing about this epidemic. It’s everywhere.”

Clermont County Commissioner Ed Humphrey said he can see the effects of the heroin problem on the county’s bottom line.

“It certainly affects the criminal justice system and child support and all the folks that deal with children and adults,”, he said.

“Criminal justice accounts for over sixty percent of the county’s budget, so the problem hits us financially in many ways.”

Humphrey said the county is trying to deal with the law enforcement side of the problem by making room for the larger number of those arrested for drug possession.

“We are adding fifty new beds to the jail, with 16 of those for men and 34 of them

for women. Our higher female population in the jail due to heroin has really become a problem that we are trying to address,” he said.

Humphrey said that discussions are underway with state lawmakers to see if the county can get additional funding help from the state.

Jason Nagle, Clermont County Chief Assistant Prosecutor, said his office is seeing the impact of the problem as well.

“There is a much larger caseload of violent cases, more home burglaries and robberies taking place. What you’ll see is someone breaking into five or ten homes to steal what they need to get money to buy heroin,” Nagle said.

“The safety and quality of life of the general public is being put at increased risk because of the heroin problem.”

He added that he has watched the problem increase in urgency since he has worked as a prosecutor.

“Fifteen years ago, if you saw two or three heroin cases a year, that was a shock. I would say now that well over fifty percent of the cases that we see are either directly possession or trafficking heroin cases or cases where someone has committed some sort of crime due to their addiction to heroin,” Nagle said.

UC Clermont Dean Jeff Bauer said he was pleased that the university was helping to play a role in addressing the heroin problem.

“Part of the college’s mission is to really reach out to the community. We are hoping that by providing a forum for this issue that we striving to make sure that our students are informed citizens and by hosting an event like this, we might have an opportunity to involve more students in the process and it helps our mission to help promote the social and cultural development of not just our students but also the local community.”

Bauer said that UC is working hard to put more players into the game when it comes to fighting heroin.

“Our Human Social Services program is really focused on addictions and some of the problems that are associated with people that have those types of issues. If we can design a program or place people in the community that have a specific skill set that can help them help people within the community, that would be the ultimate goal.”

Scherra said that part of the solution was remembering why the addicts have a problem.

“Addiction is a disease.

It’s not a moral failing or a choice. That’s why we need to treat it like an illness. People can get help, they can recover and lead happy and productive lives. Help join us in the fight. We can’t do it alone. It’s going to take the whole community to fight this.”

We recently had school children from the local public schools visit our farm, Cherry Ridge’s Outdoor Classrooms, an end of year ecology field trip. During their visit, hundreds of first and second graders, sometimes third graders, visit four stations: garden, meadow, stream and pond and enjoy a picnic too. It is an action packed month of May and always conjures up fond memories for me growing up as a child in the sixties. In fact, this is where the idea originated from to begin with. Because kids don’t have access to these kinds of magical kingdoms of farm life, as was once an everyday life for kids like me, we offer such a field trip so they can come for some farm fun and exploration.

One year, our exploration of farm life started in spring when our ducks on my childhood farm, for some unknown reason began laying their eggs in the pond’s water. Every morning, sister and brother and I would scurry down to the water’s edge to “gather duck eggs.”

It was so much fun. The water was pretty shallow and clear until one stirred it up. Yet, the muck was knee deep when you stepped in to fetch the egg. Sister Debbie would hold my arm and encourage me to do it. “Reach, Sherry, you got it,” she would demand. And with her instruction I would scoop up the egg which was much larger than a chicken egg and we’d both be victorious in our efforts of teamwork.

Amazingly, at times we found more eggs than we had ducks. Do they lay more than one in a day? It’s a mystery I never found the answer to. Nor why they chose to lay their large white eggs in the water’s edge? But the experiment didn’t end there.

We would take them to the farmhouse kitchen and I was taught to fry them in a small iron skillet just the right size for two eggs or three hen

Dear Editor, Have you noticed that the Sardinia Cemetery Fence is back? Metalcrafters Unlimited has completed the renovation/restoration of the fence. The gates and arches will soon be completed and reinstalled. The Sardinia Historical Society has been raising funds for this project.

As work is completed, the society has been receiving statements for payment.

With our fund raising projects and donations we have raised $17,345.00 for the project. The Sardinia Historical Society is very pleased

with the community support of the project. Our calendar sales and other fund raising activities have been well received by the community.

The amount of approximately $5,000.00 is still needed to complete the project. Donations are still being accepted and may be forwarded to Shirley Guillermin at 553 Bells Run Road, Sardinia, OH. 45171 or Mary Alice Ellis at 7567 Tri County Highway, Sardinia, OH. 45171.

Report damage or livestock deaths

Report Wildlife Damage Last week we held a Livestock Predator program in Adams Co. that consisted of several agencies. The turnout was pretty good and the information shared was worth sharing again, especially when it comes to the Black Vultures.

The Black Vultures are becoming more and more of a problem for livestock producers, but they also do other damage. I saw pictures of damage to homes and things people keep around the home that I didn’t know they damaged like a grill cover for example.

A few years ago there was a program that would pay for the loss of livestock through the Ohio Department of Agriculture. The funds are no longer available from this source, but the 2014 Farm Bill may have funding for losses to these Federally Protected birds.

Regardless if funding is available or not, we NEED DATA to help get something changed about what can be done with this problem. If

In Adams Co. report it to Bill Wickerham at 544-1010, in Brown report to Danielle Thompson at 378-4424, and in Highland report to the FSA Office at 393-1921.

SOACDF Programs for 2015-16 In case you missed it, there have been changes to the Southern Ohio Agricultural and Community Development Foundation in recent years. Eligibility is no longer only for those who once produced or had a tobacco quota.

So, if you were not eligible in the past because you didn’t have a tobacco history, you may want to check into this a little more.

Over the years there have been many projects funded with help from the SOACDF in Adams, Brown and High-

land Counties. There have been barns built, equipment purchased, fence built, livestock purchased, and much more in an effort to diversify away from depending on tobacco as a main source of income. If you recall, this foundation came about after the Master Settlement Agreement between tobacco companies and many of the states.

A small portion of that settlement helped start the SOACDF. In addition to diversification projects there have been funds available for education as well. Many students have benefited with funding for college tuition. The educational funding has been available in different means of applications. Some have been competitive while some have been available if you simply qualify.

There are also funds available for community development. These funds would require more direct contact with the SOACDF office which is located in Hillsboro, OH. The number to contact the office for questions about

Cemetery fence June’s list of garden tasks almost complete

BY Faye Mahaffey Master Gardner Volunteer

The weeds are growing by leaps and bounds in my flower beds! The good news is that I am not surrendering in this daily battle. The mulch is ready for the newly weeded areas as well as the pre-emergent granules. (Just remember NOT to sprinkle those granules where you want re-seeding to take place.) My tomatoes are in the ground, mulched, caged and looking great. The “rabbit patch” garden is packed full and the deer haven’t discovered that all they have to do is step over the rabbit fence. I am keeping my fingers crossed!

My June list of gardening tasks includes: • Water newly planted plants and transplants • Do the watering early in

the morning • Weed planting beds as necessary and sprinkle a “Pre-emergent” • Throw healthy garden clippings onto the compost pile • Deadhead repeatblooming roses to encourage more flowers • Spray roses early and regularly to prevent fungal diseases • Dig or pull out excess perennials and share with a friend • Pinch back chrysanthemums when 4 to 6 inches high – Don’t let them form flower buds before mid-July • Continue direct-seeding vegetable crops • Keep an eye on your tomato plants and spray a protectant fungicide when necessary.

Here are a few facts about watering your plants. A deep watering is more beneficial than a light one; moisture that penetrates the soil thoroughly helps the growth of roots buried deep in the ground.

Watering lightly encourages the growth of roots at the top of the soil, where they experience acute stress during a drought. Watering early in the day allows the sun to dry the leaves of your plants, to help ward off the growth of fungal disease like black spot or powdery mildew on foliage.

Avoid watering at midday when the sun is most intense, since a good portion of the water will evaporate before it can help the plant.

This year might be the time to consider more drought resistant plants for your gardens. Two informative Fact Sheets available at http://ohioline.osu.edu are Drought Resistance in the Home Landscape (HYG1643-94) and General Maintenance of Herbaceous Ornamentals (HYG-123698).

As you mulch your landscape this year, remember that mulch should never be placed against tree trunks.

This practice promotes rot and disease. If you mulch around the base of a tree, make sure the mulch is no more than ½ inch thick near the base of the trunk. If your tree looks like it is coming out of a “volcano” of mulch, be sure to bring that mulch away from the trunk!!!

Remember to e-mail your gardening questions to Mike Hannah at mhannah2@msn.com.

Here’s hoping June brings us a great gardening month!

eggs maximum.

Side by side, the duck egg yolk was orange compared to the hen egg yolk, which was dark yellow. It had a distinct flavor and the shell was hard to crack. “Hit it hard on the side of the skillet,” sister demanded as if she was the authority on frying duck eggs or something. “They’re much richer than a hen egg,” mother schooled us. Well, we didn’t know what richer was but learned she was referring to their flavor not money. She was right. The taste was a little different, and one needed to toast an extra piece of bread to dunk in the tennis ball size yolk.

Another great day of exploration along the water’s edge came when things were “heating up at the pond” finding masses of frog eggs that appeared overnight, seemingly by the thousands.

Or maybe it just seemed so.

At first we took a metal Folgers’s coffee can from Daddy’s tool shed and dumped the nails out to use the can as our collection container but later snuck mom’s glass canning jars from the pump house, those being better for “us scientists” for observation. At the water’s edge we’d scoop the black-eyed jelly masses up and study them. At first I didn’t know what we were studying. But we studied them nonetheless. Up close and personal it was super exciting, especially to run one’s hands through it, which was like gelatin.

Then, it became even more interesting to learn, “Each one of the eggs, with that little black speck will hatch out to be a tadpole,” sister informed us as she had learned so in school. “What’s a tadpole?” So we watched everyday and she was right.

There would be oodles of them-a frog head with a fish tail, then later came their legs. Wow! And we learned the life cycle of the frog first hand at the water’s edge.

So this year, when we put the last tent and table in the building and waved goodbye to the last school bus pulling away from the farm after Outdoor Classrooms, the memories started up. I too have been with the students in their travel around the farm in my memory and that’s why we do it. It’s for the kids, but maybe for the adults too, as I just learned on Facebook that my garden sparked interest for Jennifer Lucas who came as a chaperone to Outdoor Classrooms with her kids and is now growing a green bean teepee and has her eye on my gutter gardening project.

You go girl!

Dr. Charles H. Smith has been pastor of the Bible Baptist Church in Mt. Orab for more than 33 years, but recently he stepped down, and plans to move to Auburn, Michigan with his wife Nancy. The couple have a great grandson living there and Smith plans on setting up classes and teaching theology and prophesy.

When little Charlie Smith was only three years old, his mother looked at him and said...”son, you’re going to be a preacher some day.”

At the time, the family didn’t really attend church anywhere, so that made the comment an even stranger thing to say.

But today, Dr. Charles H. Smith, will proudly tell you that his mother, Ruth (Jould) Smith certainly knew what

she was talking about.

Charles Smith came from a humble beginning, and during the great depression in the 1930s, the family farm was lost.

“I was never really affiliated with any church growing up,” Smith said. “But while working as a farmer in Michigan, I started listening to a radio program called “The Christian Soldier of the Air” with Reverend A.C. Edwards.

“In 1953, I was married to my wife Nancy and we had a couple kids already,” Smith said. “My mother had passed away in 1952 and my wife and I weren’t attending church anywhere.

But I felt like I needed to find a church.”

Smith said that losing his mother was very difficult for him, and even though he had no real religion at the time, he was told that his

Smith leaves Mt. Orab, but not the ministry

The Brown County Press - Sunday, June 7, 2015 - Page 5

Dr. Charles and Nancy Smith will be moving to Auburn, Michigan in a few weeks. Preacher Smith served as minister of the Bible Baptist Church for more than 33 years.

mother had gone to heaven, but he wasn’t going to heaven, and that bothered him.

During all this time, Smith continued listening to the Baptist preacher, Reverend Edwards, and eventually went to Grace Baptist Church in Saginaw, Michigan, close to his home.

“I couldn’t really relate to what Reverend Edwards was saying,” he said. “Reverend Edwards would make reference to Abraham or other people in the Bible, and I didn’t know who those people were. I didn’t know what he was talking about.”

Finally, while listening to Edwards on the radio one day, Smith heard those words....’if you want to go to heaven, you have to be saved...’, and that’s what he needed to hear.

Smith attended the Grace Baptist Church and heard the Word of God and was indeed saved that day, and a week later his wife Nancy was also saved and the rest is history.

Dr. Smith was called to the gospel ministry in 1960.

Smith has pastored in Michigan, Florida and Ohio.

For the past 33 years, he has served as pastor of the Bible Baptist Church in Mt. Orab bringing attendance from less than 100 to between 400 and 450 each week.

The church’s ministry reaches into four counties and broadcasts services and programs on a network of 17 radio stations reaching nearly 17 million people. He also writes a weekly column for the Brown County Press.

Smith is actively involved in the Ohio Baptist

Bible Fellowship and the national BBFI. He also authored a book titled ‘3001 A.D’ and co-authored a book with his son Rev. Fred Smith titled ‘Nothing But the Blood’ in 2001.

“I am not retired,” Smith said adamantly, “I resigned from this church, but I want to make it perfectly clear, that I have not retired. I plan on teaching theology and prophecy to every young man who will listen in Auburn, Michigan. I will never stop mentoring young leaders.”

Reverend Smith and his family will be sorely missed by everyone in Brown County.

COVERING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

Philippians 3:4: “Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:” The Apostle Paul here is giving his qualifications. He continues in verses 5-9: “Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:” I think this is a confusing thing to our society and to every society that has ever been on the top side of God’s green earth. Sometimes we hear Christians say that we ought to live our lives so others may see our good works. Well, that is good, but, some nonbelievers live just as good, and sometimes better, than we do!

Sometimes they do more for the poor, more for the puppies, more for the sick and hungry people, and so on. If we are in a contest between our righteousness and their righteousness, we are in a losing battle. It is not our righteousness that makes the difference between them and us; it is Christ’s righteousness which makes the difference. For instance, take these two boys growing up with the same mom and dad, I would think that they were close to the same age, both relatively decent, both of equal intelligence, but one accepted by God and the other not. The one accepted by God may not have been as good in character as the one He rejected. I am talking about Cain and Abel. Cain’s personal righteousness might have exceeded that of Abel’s.

However, Abel wasn’t righteous because of his character. He was only counted righteous because of his sacrifice. Although the Bible does not give us much detail about these boys, it does tell us about their difference sacrifices. Therefore, the only difference that is evident, is the

sacrifice! Cain offered unto the LORD the fruit of the ground while Abel offered a lamb.

Look with me in Genesis chapter 4 and 3. It states that Cain brought an offering unto the LORD. He was the first that was mentioned bringing an offering unto the LORD, not Abel. He evidently believed in the LORD. I don’t think we can question his sincerity. It was probably the very best that he had to offer. That may have been why he was so disappointed that his sacrifice was not accepted. The problem is that our very best isn’t enough. In verse 4, Abel brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. The animal was slaughtered. Now look at Genesis 3:21: “Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.” God was the first one ever to kill an animal.

The Bible says that without the shedding of blood there is no remission. God provided Adam and Eve with garments, made from the sacrifice of the animal, to act as a covering for them. It was a type of the end product.

Jesus Christ was the end product. It is His blood that covers us. It is our garment of righteousness. It was the blood which was the deciding factor between the two sacrifices of Cain and Abel. There was no blood shed in Cain’s sacrifice, therefore there was no covering garment of righteousness.

Abel’s covering garment of righteousness was the shed blood of the lamb. Our covering of righteousness is the shed blood of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ. Our righteousness and good works are not what get us to heaven! Like Paul said: “...not having mine own righteousness...but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith”.

erage daily count so far this year is 72 total.”

He said the drug problem in Brown County was the single biggest factor in creating a jail that is bulging at the seams.

“We have many more heroin and drug related arrests in the county than we did before. Most of our jail is filled up with drug related offenses,” Smith said.

“The drug task force is doing an outstanding job.

They have made several felony arrests, but we need to have somewhere to put these

people once they are arrested.”

Smith said the problem also affects everyone in the county in one way or another.

“Your insurance costs are going up because there are more and more thefts. Also, if you don’t have the people that are doing these break-ins in the jail, they are going to be out there breaking into your house.”

Smith also said a solution will take the participation of everyone involved.

“Everybody is going to have to sit down at the table and figure out what to do about this. It isn’t going to fix

itself, but I’m very confident that we can work something out with our commissioners, the judges and everyone else involved in the process.”

The commissioners said it was too soon to talk specifics about when a public safety levy would be put on the ballot or how many mills it would be.

They said they planned to research the costs of various jail plans and planned on meeting with local judges, the sheriff’s office and other elected officials to get their perspective on the problem and to discuss possible solutions.

“One of the ways avian influenza spreads is by direct contact with contaminated materials coming from other infected birds. This means that exhibitions, auctions and swap meets where birds are co-mingling pose a high risk of unintentionally spreading this disease. Until we can be sure that there has been no transference from the wild bird population migrating through the state, we need to do all we can to minimize the exposure for our domestic

birds,” said State Veterinarian Dr. Tony Forshey.

Sick birds or unusual bird deaths should be immediately reported to the Ohio Department of Agriculture’s Division of Animal Health at 1-614-728-6220 or through USDA APHIS’s toll-free number at 1-866-536-7593.

14, 2015 was and continues to be accurate and in accordance with the Law of Ohio.

The Motion for Reconsideration is denied.”

Eagle also filed a motion asking Gusweiler to “Suppress, Seal or otherwise to Protect Computer Information.”

Plaintiff’s attorney John Phillips filed a motion for contempt of court against Varnau in February, alleging that she violated Gusweiler’s order to stop her investigation by asking for information to be sent to her website varnau.us.

During the March 7 hearing, Phillips questioned Varnau about two pages on the varnau.us website. One of them requested information from the public and the other was an hour long edited video with a conclusion page at the end which listed Goldson’s cause of death as homicide.

Phillips showed Varnau an Ipad and asked “Would you agree with me that that is, in the caption, varnau.us, which is your webpage?”

“Ok, yes,” Varnau replied.

“In fact it is an inquest webpage, isn’t it?”

“My comment was I was not aware that it was still on the web.”

“You are responsible for the coroner’s office, aren’t you?”

“I am.”

“So if it’s on your webpage, varnau.us, is it fair to say you are responsible for what’s out there?”

“I would say yes.”

“What efforts did you take to make sure that this page wasn’t still up and running?”, Phillips asked.

At this point, Judge Gusweiler interjected and asked Varnau, “Doctor, as we sit here today, is that the same information that you placed on the website on January 5 and January 6 after my re-

straining order?”

After a twenty second pause, Varnau replied “Yes, sir.”

Gusweiler declined to hold Varnau in contempt when he ruled on the matter last April.

Regarding Eagle’s computer information motion, Gusweiler wrote in part; “Despite all of the interesting arguments propounded by both sides of the issue there are a few facts that are inescapable and render all of the arguments moot. The items were available on the Defendant’s web site. They were accessed by persons other than the Defendant.

Apparently that was not supposed to be possible but it did happen. If it should not have happened, that is a matter to be resolved between the Defendant and her IT providers and technicians. The bell has been rung and the Court cannot un-ring it. The issue is Moot. The Motion is overruled.”

Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little requested a special prosecutor in the case because her investigator, Buddy Coburn, is an alleged victim of assault by Wilcox, along with his wife

work at the new sewer plant will be finalized as soon as a pump arrives, which was ordered three months ago. He said the village workers have done much of the work and fixed a lot of the problems.

He added that the plant is operational.

The new zoning ordinance for the village was also briefly discussed. At least one resident inquired when it would be made available to the public to review. She said residents deserve the opportunity to look at it before being asked to vote on it.

Mayor Cahall said that as soon as the recent revisions are in place, the ordinance will be put on a website where everyone can review

it.

Staker is a full time paramedic/firefighter from Sharonville. Rockey said he will probably be working in the paramedic capacity.

He said that Morgan Steele, who joined the department a couple months ago is now finishing up her classes at Felicity and also, five new prospects recently started classes at Southern Hills Career and Technical Center and they will be a huge asset to the department according to Rockey.

Village Administrator Art Owens told council that

Village Fiscal Officer Natalie Newberry informed council that she had received a request from the Brown County Auditor’s office that a form needed to be returned to their office asking what council thought they would be bringing in from its tax levy. Council approved the measure after suspending the rules.

Administrator Owens told council that he was very proud of the job the village crew was doing on keeping the cemetery mowed and cleaned.

Council scheduled the next signage meeting and cemetery committee meeting for June 4.

Local woman, Pamela Daly to perform at Aronoff Center

The woman who put a pinch in the Queen City’s corset in 1922 with her Birth Control conference – vilified nationally, prosecuted repeatedly, and denounced locally by the Knights of Columbus – is coming back to town again.

Margaret Sanger – founder of Planned Parenthood, politically incorrect crusader for birth control, and fearless protester who was often arrested for speaking frankly on sexuality – will be brought to life in Sanger: One Woman, One Story at the Aronoff Center’s intimate JarsonKaplan Theater on Saturday, June 27 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, June 28 at 2 p.m.

Tickets are on sale now at www.CincinnatiArts.org, (513) 621-ARTS [2787], and the Aronoff Center Ticket Office.

Sanger: One Woman, One Story is performed by Pamela Daly, a seasoned stage and screen actress, who was known to Cincinnati years ago through performances at Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati and other local Equity theaters, and as a regular on Gary Burbank’s “It’s a Scream” TV Show. The play, commissioned for Ms. Daly, is composed entirely of Margaret Sanger’s own words, taking on issues that are still hot topics today: abortion, birth control, sex education. and the plight of women.

This gifted actress, who divides her time between Los Angeles and a home in Brown County, took on the project as a way to appeal to audiences across the political spectrum and challenge people to reconsider what they know – and often don’t know – about the turbulent life of Margaret Sanger, the self-described “Woman Rebel.”

Many might be surprised to learn that Sanger, who died in 1966 before Planned Parenthood offered abortion services following the 1972 Supreme Court ruling Roe vs. Wade, spoke out against abortion her entire life. “Abortion is the wrong way—no matter how early it is performed it is taking life; contraception is the better way because life has not yet begun,” she said.

Sanger was named as one of Time Magazine’s “25 Most Powerful Women

of the Past Century” in 2010. Higher standards of living, fewer abandoned orphans, less poverty, more education, family planning, and women working in every career and profession have all been credited to Sanger and her allies.

One of those allies was Cincinnati’s own Clarence James Gamble (18941966), the Procter and Gamble heir and crusading Harvard doctor who made birth control the “Great Cause” of his life and fortune. Dr. Gamble was the “Field Medical Director” for Sanger’s American Birth Control League (1921 predecessor of Planned Parenthood), and also served as a board member and major donor. His work continues to this day through Pathfinder International.

Sanger and Gamble were unapologetic proponents of Eugenic principals. Eugenics literally means “well

born,” and a core principle of this pseudo science was the improvement of the human race through the prevention of reproduction in those deemed undesirable or defective. Eugenics was at the core of Sanger’s birth control work, and a regular topic in the movement’s magazine The Birth Control Review, that was published (usually monthly) between 1917 and 1940. Genetic controversies that made Sanger a lightning rod in the early decades of the 20th century are still debated. Only the words have been changed, substituting “genetic selection” for the more plainspoken language of Sanger.

Pamela Daly, who is excited about “becoming” a controversial figure, for better or worse, says her character still provokes strong reactions. “I’m inviting people to be part of this compelling story and discussion because I believe that art is one of the best ways to address tough topics and to create a platform for open conversation.”

The play is sourced from Sanger’s books and original documents, and includes surprises for social liberals and conservatives alike. A discussion guide to accompany the play will appear in the playbill.

Sanger is authentic American history the way it should be – complete, genuine, unfiltered, and as frank and challenging as the original Woman Rebel.

Aberdeen Village Council met in regular session on June 1 and heard a proposal from Daniel Schaefer, a water systems planner with Brandstetter Carroll, Inc..

Schaefer asked council to approve a sewer evaluation of the village wastewater treatment plant, which was constructed in the 1950’s.

“This village made improvements to its sewer system in 2000,” Schaefer told council. “Your sewer plant currently has a rated capacity of 300,000 gallons per day. However, the front end of this station involving the lift station, screenings and mixing chamber require upgrades.”

Schaefer said that he had met with Keith O’Dell, water and wastewater superintendent for the village, back in December and told him about some of the problems at the treatment plant which included: • the lift station and pumps needed to be replaced with associated piping modifications, new bar screens were needed, only two of three pumps were working;

• conversion of the existing 1950’s aeration tanks one and two to sludge storage tanks should be evaluated; • a replacement generator is necessary for back-up power supply during an electrical outage.

“I will work to obtain grants, to help the village finance these repairs which are needed by the EPA,” Schaefer said. “I was able to get a grant for West Union that covered 70 percent of the costs, and I believe I can do the same for Aberdeen.”

Schaefer said he would have to do a total assessment of the treatment plant and would prepare the village a projected cost of the project for a cost of $2,400 to the village.

Councilwoman Billie Eitel, however said that West Union was considered a distressed area which would qualify them for higher grants. She said that Brown County is not considered a distressed area and Aberdeen may not qualify for as many grants.

“The grants we might qualify for would most likely be 50/50 grants and this village can’t afford that

at this time,” Eitel said.

Council made no immediate decision and tabled the issue until the July 6 council meeting.

In other business at the meeting, Aberdeen resident Kay Marshall asked council if June 20 is a good date to hold “River Sweep” where volunteers walk the Ohio River shores picking up debris which will be hauled away by Rumpke. She also said activities were being planned for the village’s Fourth of July celebration.

Council approved her recommendations.

Jeff Uckotter, field representative for Brad Wenstrup (State Representative of the 2nd District) spoke briefly to council about any concerns they might have that Wenstrup could help them with.

Shari Stafford, coordinator of the Aberdeen Concerned Citizens (ACC) group approached council to tell them about a couple of new grants she was working on and that the new playground equipment for the park was scheduled to arrive on June 6.

Village administrator Delbert Hester said he should probably keep the old equip-

ment to use for repairs.

“We now have two grant opportunities,” Stafford began, “One is to put a security system at the park and we’ve had some great bids from AT&T and a couple of others. The system operates on wifi which we can actually get from the sewer plant.

“But the problem is there are some trees on private property that block the wifi at the park.”

Stafford said she is considering putting a special

wifi room, possibly on top of the restrooms, which would make wifi accessible to everyone in the park. She said double security would be put in place.

“Security cameras could be locked, but people could come to the park with their laptops and be able to benefit from the wifi,” Stafford said. “I wanted to make sure council was okay with this plan.”

Stafford said the ACC was also looking into purchasing a scrolling sign for

the village and a new movie screen where movies could be seen at the park.

Council thanked Stafford for keeping them informed and told her that they all appreciated the ACC’s efforts.

Council also recognized an ordinance, implemented in 1992, to pay several employees for federal holidays.

The employees were supposed to have been paid for the holiday since the ordinance passed. Council approved paying the employees.

“Long Ears” available at shelter for only $25

“Long Ears: have a special adoption fee of only $25 from June 1 through June 13.”

Jay Chadwell applauds young basketball players for their hard work during Georgetown’s Summer Boys’ Basketball Camp held June 1-5.

Chadwell recommended by Underwood as new GHS boys' basketball coach GHS awaits board approval on hiring of new head coach

BY Wade Linville The Brown County Press

The Georgetown Exempted Village Schools Board of Education has not yet made a final decision on who is to be hired as the high school's new varsity boys head basketball coach following long-time coach Jerry Underwood's announcement that he will retire, but Underwood has made a recommendation to the school board in relation to the hiring of a new coach.

On Monday, Underwood told The Brown County Press that Jay Chadwell, one of his former players, has been recommended to head the GHS boys' basketball program.

Chadwell filled in for Underwood to head this year's

Georgetown youth summer basketball camp held June 1-5, a camp that drew nearly 40 young ballers to Brian Grant Gymnasium in Georgetown.

Chadwell, a 2007 graduate of GHS, enjoyed a remarkable high school basketball career while at Georgetown. He was a key player on Georgetown's 2007 OHSAA Division IV State Champion team that finished their season perfect at 28-0 and as a senior was named Ohio's Division IV State Tournament Most Valuable Player.

During his high school basketball career he also received Southern Buckeye Athletic/Academic Conference First Team honors three times and was named the 2007 SBAAC National Division Player of the Year, in addition to receiving First Team All-Southwest District honors and being named an All-Southwest

District Honorable Mention.

Chadwell was among four inducted into Georgetown High School's Athletic Hall of Fame this past school year.

He ended his high school career with 1,299 points.

Underwood, before taking over the GHS varsity boys' basketball program in 1994, served as an assistant to Jay Chadwell's father and former GHS head coach, Tim Chadwell.

He went on to attend Marietta College after high school graduation where he continued his basketball career. In 2012, he received his Bachelor of Arts in electronic media and broadcasting.

Chadwell wished not to comment until the GEVS Board of Education made a final decision on who it will approve for hire as the new Georgetown varsity boys' basketball coach.

River Sweep 2015 is scheduled for Saturday, June 20, along the shoreline of the Ohio River and many of its tributaries. Volunteers are needed for this massive event.

River Sweep is a riverbank cleanup that extends the entire length of the Ohio River and beyond.

More than 3,000 miles of shoreline will be combed for trash and debris. This is the largest environmental event of its kind and encompasses six states.

"The spring flooding likely moved a lot of trash and we anticipate finding more litter than normal along the shorelines." said Lisa Cochran, Project Manager. "We need your help."

Persons who want to volunteer for this event can

visit the website www.OhioRiverSweep.org to find a location near them. Trash bags are provided and each volunteer will receive a free T-shirt.

Locally, volunteers can meet at the following locations in Adams and Brown Counties: Aberdeen, Brush Creek Campground, Higginsport, Manchester, Rome, Ripley, & Wrightsville. Volunteers may also call 1-800-3593977 or 937-378-3431 for more information.

The River Sweep is sponsored by the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission (ORSANCO) and other state and environmental agencies from Pennsylvania to Illinois. ORSANCO is the water pollution control agency for the Ohio River.

The non-profit group began in 2007 when some caring citizens decided that the most valuable resources we have in Brown County are our children.

The volunteer based group has dedicated its resources to providing and encouraging quality learning opportunities and programs across Brown County.

Through these efforts they hope to help our children find the path to success.

They partnered with Dolly's Imagination Library to provide books to children who reside in Brown County from birth to five years of age.

Celebration of birth of 4th generation

The Grandparents As Parents (GAP) support group will meet on Thursday, June 11, 2015 at 7:00 pm at the Pregnancy Resource Center – A Place of Hope. The PRC is located at 852 Mt. Orab Pike, Ste. B in Georgetown, Ohio.

GAP is a support group for Grandparents and others who are parenting children other than their own, standing in the gap for parents who cannot do so for whatever reason.

This month’s speaker is a parenting- grandparent of twins. Come and hear of her experiences through her ten years of standing in the gap.

Last month’s guest speaker was Magistrate Karen Oakley of the Brown County Juvenile Court. Magistrate Oakley gave a brief description of her background which included the positions of Assistant Prosecuting Attorney and Guardian ad

children, and 45 foster children who came through her Mom’s care in her lifetime. She described herself as “profamily”, “pro-child”, and a “public servant” with a passion for children. She explained that the court system is “no-fault” and not a court of blame, because the focus is not on the parents but on the welfare of the child and what will benefit that child in the long run. The goal of Children’s Services is to help children, Oakley explains, and that Grandparents with questions and needs should contact these agencies to access services when needed. Julie Steddom, of Steddom Law Office and founder of GAP, tells grandparents to “go in person” and ask for a specific person when seeking assistance.

Anyone who is parenting children other than their own is welcome to attend. Questions concerning GAP may be directed to the PRC at 378-6853.
